waiting for your starlight

Chapter 186

The final interview was scheduled for a week later, at the home of Jiang Bingqi's daughter.After reading the biographies of the characters, Yixi finally understood why Jiang Bingqi said he was looking for a chivalrous woman, but still patiently considered her calligraphy.

He gave her a few pages that day, and he didn't even know the name of the movie, but through those materials, Yixi knew that the background of the story was the early years of the Republic of China. Proficient in everything, she is a typical old-age talented woman.But these are just illusions. Under the skin of a lady, there is a heart yearning for freedom.Jinfeng is obsessed with the life in the rivers and lakes in the storybook, and even secretly learns martial arts with her mother's brother-in-law, thus burying the most primitive contradiction in the whole story.

It is indeed difficult for a talented woman and a chivalrous woman to be dignified and unruly.Yixi was thoughtful, while Wang Anhui said from the side: "I'm going to see Director Jiang today, and the other three candidates will also come. I've found out everything this time. One of them is a third-year student of Shanghai Opera, and the other is Yang Ying Last year's outstanding graduate with the highest grades in professional courses, and another one is..."

"The first movie?" The three major art schools in China have gathered together. Is Director Jiang collecting stamps?

Wang Anhui gave her a white look, "They're from the Capital Academy of Dance. Although the first two haven't done serious filming, at least they graduated from majors. This one is a real layman."

Yixi expressed her understanding, and said again: "Then how did she fall into Director Jiang's eyes? Could it be like when Director Qin chose Song Fei'er, Director Jiang accidentally saw this dancer and thought she was very suitable?"

"Maybe. But I vaguely heard some news. In the end, this person was probably favored by someone, so he was able to appear in front of Director Jiang, and then he really liked him."

News from the entertainment industry is never to be trusted. For example, Yixi was recommended to Tan Weidong by the head of the department. In order to add drama to the news, Tan Weidong happened to see Yixi in school and fell in love with her.Yixi was not curious about the backing of the candidate for the first dance, who was stronger than her in the backstage?She knew too well that in this afternoon's audition, there was only one criterion for standing out, and that was Jiang Bingqi's will.

This indifferent attitude towards opponents remained until the afternoon, when she arrived at Jiang Bingqi's daughter's apartment and saw the three of them already waiting on the sofa in the living room.They were all young and beautiful girls. They looked over at the same time when they heard the sound from the entrance, and then saw Wang Anhui with a strong aura, and Yixi who was smiling and hard to hide her demeanor behind her.

The three girls were selected one after another. They had participated in training together for more than a month before, in order to choose the most suitable one.Originally, the three of them were still fighting among themselves, but they didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out in the final interview, let alone the famous actress Yixi!

Yixi walked into the living room, and the three girls stood up at the same time, her gaze fell directly on the person on the far right, and she asked in surprise, "Chen Cheng?"

Wang Anhui asked, "Do you know each other?"

Yixi pointed to that person, "This is an actor I met when I was filming "Seize the Palace". I didn't expect her to be here."

It was indeed Chen Cheng who played Liu Ji's personal maid in "Seizing the Palace". She had only seven lines of lines in that movie, and the most important role was to be Liu Ji's first backup dancer when she performed dances.Yixi got closer to her during the filming, but later she noticed something uncomfortable, and she stopped contacting after filming.

Chen Cheng also recovered from the shock of seeing Yixi, and said with a smile: "Yeah Xiaoxi, I didn't expect to see you here. How are you? You have been very popular in the past two years, My mother watches "The Empress" at home every day, and I can hear your voice every meal, which makes me miss you at all!"

She laughed after she finished speaking, and walked over to give Yixi a hug.

Compared with two years ago, Chen Cheng was much more tactful in dealing with people. Yixi still remembered that she had noticed her faint dissatisfaction and jealousy towards herself back then, but she was just too lazy to point it out.But seeing you today, Chen Cheng acted like a caring old friend, not at all unnatural.

When the other two girls saw that they were reminiscing about the old days, they were surprised and immediately worried, wouldn't these two join forces to exclude them?Although today is the selection of the heroine, those who are not selected are likely to get a supporting role in the movie, and this is a good starting point for their debut.

Newcomers are always at a disadvantage in front of famous actresses, and they now feel that since Yixi is here, the possibility of being selected is very high.Then if Chen Cheng pleases her, he won't even have the chance to be a supporting role!
The manager didn't need to stay, Wang Anhui said a few words to Ms. Jiang and left.The four of Yixi sat on the sofa, and the maid brought hot tea. Ms. Jiang said, "Director Jiang is still upstairs talking to people, and I'll invite you to go up to audition later. I'm going to the study, and I can tell the servant if I have anything to do."

After everyone watched Ms. Jiang leave, the four of them were silent for a while, and Chen Cheng took the initiative to say: "I didn't expect to audition at Director Jiang's house, I thought I would go to the company. Xiaoxi, you have a lot of experience, have you ever encountered such a thing? "

Yixi shook her head, "No, basically they are still in the company, but artists like Director Jiang are informal, so don't be too surprised."

To put it bluntly, it means that the right to speak is great, so you can let your temper go.Tian Feifei, a girl who is still studying in the Shanghai Opera, said with a smile: "I have always liked Ms. Yi, and I have also followed the live broadcast of "The Empress". Can we take a photo later? Even if I lose the election, I am a little relieved."

Chen Cheng also echoed, only Lin Mei, who was said to be the number one in the professional class of Central Film, did not speak, but fortunately there was still a smile on her lips, and she was not so stupid as to shake Yixi's face.

Of course Yixi agreed, and everyone chatted a few more words. Chen Cheng suddenly touched Yixi's shoulder, "Xiaoxi, do you know who the leading actor is?"

Yixi: "Why ask me?"

Tian Feifei clapped her hands, "We all heard that the male lead will be here today, but we don't know who it is, I'm a little curious, so I want to ask Ms. Yi if she knows... Judging from the script, the male lead is also in his thirties , shouldn’t be a rookie, maybe he’s a big shot!”

The hero of the movie is the person who teaches Jinfeng martial arts, named Lin Yantang, who is her mother's foster brother.Although there is no blood relationship, the two have always been together as uncle and niece in that era when etiquette was greater than heaven.In the process of teaching martial arts, they secretly fell in love with each other, and were finally broken by their family members. The man went away and the woman married into a married woman. They did not meet again until many years later.
